I think the half chapter thing might be related on how many pages he has available on the magazine.


Maybe it's a marketing strategy? Part 1 is free and part 2 is paywalled. But I hope he starts releasing whole chapters (if he is actually working on it seriously). Always felt like the parts ...

And by the way, next chapter is really 5 pages only?


Yea Kishiro got sick and had to skip the next 2 issues, he rushed a shortened chapter for this issue (I'm guessing there'll probs be ~3 parts to this whole chapter) :shock:
This has happened before in last last year or something, and with ...

Thanks! Now that we've reached another huge cliffhanger is it time for the story to switch back to the present time to address the previous cliffhanger that was years ago? :shock: The timing is just right too, this chapter will be the end chapter for the next volume!
Also it must be mighty awkward ...

Thanks!
Ok is this where Muster's little sister's disappearance comes in

With what I've seen from 1st volume of mars chronicle especially silent corps I'd like to see yukito do a mecha war type story like mobile suit gundam thunderbolt just have it rated 18+ from getgo so that way less editorial interference like with viz rereleases of gunnm. I have no idea what it is ...

I really hope this doesn't become Gunnm's version of Berserk's idolmaster meme :shock:

What's that? And where can I see it?

As a follower of Berserk,I have to say that it is not so bad as HunterxHunter. At least, Berserk is beautiful drawn.

Oh it's just the meme that the author kept going on ...

Sad news, Yukito's first dog died on the 29th. His dog was ill since the 26th, that might have factored into why he missed the deadline, sounds like a case of sudden encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and wow poor doggie was just 9 months old RIP

Well he just got another dog. And his first dog got a surgery recently, he also took his first dog to a photo shoot this month.
He made a vlog about it just the day before this issue's publication:

Yeah, dude's got 2 puppies to look after on top of the ...

Cool! It's a surprisingly long read but the source material really did have that many details didn't it.

Yea but then the question is why is it $12.99 instead of $10.99 like the rest of alita single volumes because even the ghost in the shell 1 movie tie-in manga was same price as tpb version

The 1st volume did not cover the entire first arc (assuming that it's the makaku arc ) it was missing the ...

Oh so that's why the scrapyard era alita illustration doesn't have the poofy hair :cheesygrin:
I doubt he's writing/drawing something new other than the cover and maybe some extra movie-verse illustrations. See "This edition contains the full first story arc of the Japanese manga Battle Angel Alita ...

He's relying too much on the readers' faith that the stage he's setting will payoff :|
I'm enjoying the Mars setting and Erica getting her sanity chipped away so there's that (at least for me)
That sums up all of our reservations about this arch. Though on the contrary to you I don't like the way ...

The pace of mars chronicles doesn't bother me as I also read berserk so I'm used to sudden changes
I don't think the comparison is proper, I read Berserk too and while Kentaro Miura may do that sometimes, Kishiro does that ALL THE TIME in this fucking arch. Mabe he is putting together a jigsaw ...

Thank you

Haha Erica just doesn't get it does she? Smug lil kid. Why did Erica seem like a normal child in the flashbacks with Gelda considering all previous chapters? Another memory reset like after Ninon died would suck as an explanation.

Ok, so "Mom"'s dead now. Marquis is going to have the ...

Hate to say this but based on that fucking bike they nailed how Yukito's designs would translate into to real world. New trailer in April huh, something to look foward to

Damn. How did I miss this thread? I hadn't seen any word of a novel so I started my fan novelization last night.I'm not sure it's worth continuing if there is going to be a canonical one done. :-(
It's most likely gonna be movie canon, not manga canon so you're still safe on that side bro :)

I ...

I wonder if anyone notice if yukito purposely made these death happen during snow specifically, as snow represents sadness, bleakness and death itself. It makes me wonder if that was the approach he was going just a thought that struck me now recently

Probably, though I also think that dude just ...

Some nice stuff he got there. Bit surprise that he's not using one of those huge full monitor sized screen tablets for digital illustrations. That XP-Pen vs Wacom price comparison...man Wacoms ARE pricey
Also that's the new volume cover I guess, looks good.
Why is there a new illustration of ...

1. When did she say that she wanted to kill the mother all along? I got the impression that she just came up with that idea.
2. Since when is Yoko that good at deduction? She also trusts Erica and she did not even think about anything. For now, at least.
3. I think, at p04, she accepted, that ...

Why is he suddenly being active on his blog?
Well, he's got a movie coming out next year? It's a big chance to push his property into the mainstream. Landing there with a continuity of effort will make it easier to win fans, sell back catalog material, and raise the value of the license to the ...

That's pretty cool, really like these art time laspes. Dude should get a twitter account for these things. However, Why did he unlist the videos? Why is he suddenly being active on his blog? Why is he updating his blog with details of the drawing tools? When will mars chronicle return to a stable ...

That's just for the drafts. He then scans it and redraw digitally. I actually miss the good old times when it was only analog drawing. It was way more vivid IMO.

Wouldn't that be inefficient since the inks are already very detailed on paper? Strange. And yep his analog drawings were great, best ...

Cool, I thought he switched to digital for Mars chronicle since the lines were a lot smoother, guess not.

Now will Kishiro introduce the Kunstlers soon or do we have to wait some more (like a lot more)?

Now that's a contrived way of hiding a thing (The maze better have some other uses).
As to how the story is going I'd say that it's a lot less "dense" than the 1st series, you've got all these full panel character shots that aren't necessary or as visually interesting as the cool detailed cyborgs we ...
